The fighter plane that showed in the war against Pakistan!?
The Dakota fighter plane that played an important role in the war against pakistan has flown again. Union minister Rajiv chandrasekhar, who bought this fighter in 2011, restored it and handed it over to the indian air Force. The Dakota DC-3 VP-905 fighter aircraft is significant in indian history. After the partition, pakistan was ready to occupy Jammu and Kashmir. At that time, the Dakota fighter aircraft played a major role in saving kashmir and also played an important role in the 1971 bangladesh Liberation War. India's oldest aircraft has now taken to the skies again. The historic Dakota DC3 VP 905 will also fly the indian air Force's annual Flyfast event at Prayagraj.
Earlier, the Dakota fighter jet, retired from naval service, was sold for scrap. In 2011, this indian fighter jet went on sale in Ireland. Union minister Rajiv chandrasekhar, who was informed about this, bought the plane. He bought the plane with the idea that we should have the Dakota fighter plane because of the important role the aircraft played in India's war history and upholding the country's dignity. rajeev Chandrasekhar's idea to buy the historic Dakota fighter aircraft at his own expense, fully restore it and present it to the air Force was rejected by AK Anthony, then Defense minister in the congress government. Later, Defense minister Manohar Parrikar of the bjp government accepted this.
Named after Parasuraman, the 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, this Vimana was completely renovated in 2018. The number VP 905 is marked on the tail of the aircraft. The aircraft was given an official reception at the IF Vintage Squadron at the air Force Base, Hinton. “It is good to see Parasurama's flight with historical background. The Dakota aircraft has legendary status as having had the greatest impact on indian history.” minister Rajeev chandrasekhar said.
